Sorry to hear that, man. At least you still have great options though. Do you know if you're headed to UT or Vandy yet?

Thanks! Still waiting to hear back from UT about renegotiation, so might be a week or two. Even though I'm sad that I won't be going to Georgetown, since it's the only law school I ever thought about attending growing up, it's nice to have it narrowed down to just two schools after all this.

Also, does someone want to take over as OP of this thread? I'm happy to say that it took six months for Harvard to overtake us as the most prolific c/o '19 thread, but now that I've withdrawn and they've passed us I feel like the person running the thread should probably be a bona fide future Hoya Lawya.

Trying to fill out the Blue Form. Does anyone know how many credits a 1L takes in the fall and spring semesters? I can't find that anywhere (why would I, 1Ls just take the classes they're told to). And the registrar and financial aid offices are closed today - go figure.

Thanks!

I just put 15. I don't think it terribly matters since schedules aren't finalized and anything between 12 and 15 is F/T.

Based on last year's thread, it looks like people who will be taking out COL loans have to request a refund through MyAccess around orientation week in order to get the $$$. It then takes a few days to get the money deposited in to your account. Not sure how I will be affording the move-in fees to my apartment on August 20 if they won't kick in by that time, but it'll all work out somehow I guess.

Hopefully someone who is a current student can chime in and confirm.

Awesome thanks for the info! Yeah - it's definitely making my early move in tricky too.

I did mine a couple of weeks back because I needed to get an updated booster and wanted to make sure the apt time would be early enough. The actual filling out of the form and faxing it is very quick and easy though if you have no need for updated shots. A nurse can fill it out since it says healthcare provider and not physician so that makes things much easier.

Nah, I emailed them to confirm this last week and they said the blue form is all you need for now. We won't be able to accept the award on MyAccess until later this summer.

There's also a list of satisfied vs unsatisfied requirements fwiw. There are some other things like signing the MPN and completing the entrance counseling through the gov website that are required to accept. Once I had completed all the requirements, my loans updated automatically to status "accept"
